In the Senate the espionage and

TRIBUTE PAID TO

STOBY OF LIFE WBITTEN
Brought Diocese Up From Poor
Financial Condition to
Sound Basis
In the March number of the rec
ords of the American Catholic His
torical Society, published in Philadel
phia, is an interesting memoir of the
late Right Rev. John W. Shanahan,
D. D., third bishop of the Harrisburg
Diocese. The historical sketch was
written by Right Rev. Monsignor
Maurice M. Hassett, D. D. V. G., rec
tor of St. Patrick's Cathedral, this
city.
Monsignor Ilassett, in addition to
giving a complete story of the life of
Bishop Shanahan during his admin
istration of the affairs of the Harris
burg Diocese, shows a rapid growth of
Catholic churches and congregations.
The memoir compiled by Monsignor
Hassett is reprinted in the Harrisburg
Telegraph by permission, and follows
in part:
"When, in the month of January,
1899, a cablegram from Rome an
nounced the appointment as Bishop
of Harrisburg of the Rev. John W.
Shanahan, pastor of Our Mother of
Sorrows Church, Philadelphia, the
news was hailed with satisfaction by
the older clergy of the diocese, most
of whom had labored under and great
ly esteemed the first Bishop of the See
(1868-1886), the Right Rev. J. F.
Shanahan, elder brother of the new
Bishop-elect.
"Established in 18C8, the Diocese of
Harrisburg had received a super
abundance of territory but few sub
jects; in an area almost as large as
Belgium Bishop Jeremiah F. Shana
han had found less than twenty-five
thousand Catholics, scattered among
a non-Catholic population of half a
million. * * •
"When the second Bishop Shana
han, a few days after his consecra
tion (May 1, 1899), came to Harris
burg, to him the time seemed to have
arrived for new developments and in
various directions. But, as a prelimi
nary, the new Ordinary had of course
to get his proper orientation. To this
end he began an informal visitation of
his diocese, the thorough character of
which, nevertheless, was usually
brought home to pastors; later on, by
means of letters calling their attention
to a dozen or two improvements the
Bishop would like to see carried out In
their respective churches, with the
least possible delay. Nothing escaped
his apparently benign glance, as he in
spected the parish premises, from the
sacristy pincushion to the altar boys'
shoes; from the tabernacle key to the
forgotten dust in the most obscure
corner of the church; from the con
fessional stole, often an interesting
relic of a forgotten founder, to the oil
stocks that should be, and sometimes
were not, in a conspicuous ambry in
tho sanctuary. To some of us, with
large dreams of tho big reforms wo
were eager to achieve, the Bishop's
minute attention to the small things
of tho house of God was cause of sur
prise, If not, occasionally, of an even
warmer feeling. Nevertheless, the
Bishop persisted in, as he would say,
"worrying" us about what youthful re
formers on the grand scale were dis
posed to regard as trifles, until, event
ually, wo not only admitted he was
right, but many developed a like par
ticularity on their own account. * *
"The three great projects which,
from the beginning of his episcopate,
Bishop Shanahan, with God's help, de
termined to carry through were the
erection of a cathedral, and the crea
tion of two orphanages, wherein the
poor and neglected of both sexes
should flnd the home, the care, which
circumstances denied them. Yet, even
before he could seriously commence
to think of bringing his ideas to the
point of realization the preliminary
work to be done was simply enormous.
For instance, as regards the cathedral
—when the Bishop arrived in the
Capital City he found there, among
a population of fifty thousand, just
three thousand Catholics, in two small
churches, both heavily burdened with
debt. For various causes, also, the re
lations of Catholics with non-Cath
olics were none too friendly, and the
Catholics themselves were plainly dis
couraged.
Raises Spiritual Standard
"Here was a condition that might
damp the ardor of the average person,
but not Bishop Shanahan. Beginning
at once In the most vigorous style he,
with his aides, whom he speedily in
oculated with his own enthusiasm,
undertook to raise the spiritual stand
ard of Harrisburg Catholicism, and,
at the same time, to clear away the
material burdens that seemed to have
had on his people so depressing an In
fluence. The former object reached
tho climax of Its attainment in the
fall of 1899, when a splendid mission,
conducted by the Rev. Navlcr Sutton,
C. P., whose name is still remembered
with affection in Harrisburg, instilled
new spiritual life into the entire Cath
olic community. Nor were the good
results of this famous mission con
fined to Catholics alone; a week's lec
tures to non-Catholics at the close
brought into the church more than
fifty converts • • •
"The immediate results of a year's
work of this character in the city of
Harrisburg may be summed up as fol
lows: Two new parishes were formed,
In the eastern and southern sections
of the city; a mission, with a parochial
school, was established In the north
ern section; a new spirit took posses
sion of the Catholic population; and,
last, but not of least moment, the non-
Cathollc public began to look upon
Bishop Shanahan and all tys works
with tho greatest esteem. True, a cer
tain element, just then, endeavored
to fan the embers of a dying bigotry.
That first year, in addition to what
has been described, saw the frantic
efforts, In the form of three courses
of anti-Catholic lectures, of the nar
row sectary to stem the tide. But
these exertions, worthy of a better ob
ject, ended in a pitiable fiasco, on the
nature of which, at this date, a charit
able silence had best be observed.
"The success of the non-Catholic
mission In Harrisburg suggested the
Idea of a series of similar missions
In every parish, and even in places
where there were no churches, in the
diocese, and this work, with most
commendable zeal, was carried out by
Father Sutton in the course of tho fol
lowing year. At the same time other
cities and towns of the Bishop's juris
diction were following the lead of
Harrisburg and parochial expansion
became the universal watchword.
"While the way was thus being pre
pared for the building of a cathedral,
at the same time It must not bo sup
posed that the Bishop had lost sight
of the other special works, of a dio
cesan character, which he particularly
desired to effect, namely, the erection
of homes for orphan children'. On the
contrary, as early as the year 1901,
he was able to provide a commodious
home for orphan girls. From tho early
part of the first Bishop's administra
PULPIT ECHOES OF A BUS Y SUNDA Y
GREAT LUTHERAN RALLY
RESULTS IN OVERFLOW
I So large the crowd of Lu
therans attracted to the Reformation
memorial services last night in the
Chestnut street auditorium that an
overflow meeting had to be held in
Zion Lutheran Church. An hour be
fore the services started the auditor
ium was crowded to the doors. The
audience in the auditorium was esti
mated at 2,100 and in the church at
500.
It was quickly arranged to accom
modate those who could not get into
the auditorium by having the speakers
repeat their addresses at the over
flow meeting and arranging for the
choir to sing at the church while the
speakers were making their addresses
at the auditorium.
The principal address of the even
ing was made by the Rev. Dr. C. M.
Jacobs, of Mount Airy Theological
Seminary, Philadelphia, his subject
being "Luther and the Modern Age."
Doctor Jacobs said that among the
contributions of the Reformation to
the modern age three stand out promi
nently from the rest: the right of
private judgment; the separation of
tlon the diocese had owned in Harris
burg a valuable property, finely lo
cated on an eminence overlooking the
Capital City and the beautiful Susque
hanna river. Hero Bishop Jeremiah
Shanahan had established an ec
clesiastical seminary, but lack of
means, after a few years, brought this
project to an end, and from the time
of the first Bishop's demise Sylvan
Heights had served as an episcopal
residence. But the second Bishop
Shanahan, finding the manor house
on the property too spacious for his
needs, came to the resolution to
transform the structure into an or
phanage. The only thing he needed to
carry out this puropse was funds, but
the one matter about which the third
Bishop of Harrisburg never worried
was money. For the mammon of
iniquity he personally cared nothing
—when he died less four hundred dol
lars, more than half of which had just
conie in, was found in bank to his
credit. This indifference to the root
of all evil does not mean that the
Bishop did not realize that money has
its legitimate uses; on the contrary, he
so well knew how much good could be
done with it that he expended his own
as fast as it came to hand. And he
expected other, if not to go quite so
far, at least to make real sacrifices of
respectable portions of their worldly
possessions, for the common cause.
Noither did his diocesans, both lay and
clerical, disappoint in this regard his
high expectations; in a few months
after his appeal for the wherewith to
remodel Sylvan Heights, and to pay
off the large debt on the property, the
means for both purposes was at hand,
and a well-equipped orphanage, capa
ble of accommodating eighty children,
was opened, November 21, 1901. Sub
sequently a wing was added which
greatly increased the accommodation,
but unfortunately, in December, 1915,
two months before the Bishop's death,
and to his great grief, the main build
ing was destroyed by fire. But, never
losing courage, he at once had plans
drawn for its reconstruction as a fire
proof edifice, and the last official act
of his life, while he lay on what
proved to be his deathbed, was to give
directions for the contract to bo
signed. That the spirit which he in
fused into his see has not departed
with his personality is shown by the
fact that when the new Sylvan
Heights is again completed at a cost
of $40,000 —more than twice the in
surance on the old structure—ninety
per cent, of this amount shall have
been paid.
"After five years of arduous labor
the time arrived for carrying Into ef
fect another article of Bishop Shana
han's initial program; the erection of
a cathedral. During this period the
debt on the pro-cathedral had been
paid off, and, March 17, 1904, ground
was broken for the proposed structure
with, in the treasury—just nothing.
In a little over three years a fine
Renaissance edifice took the place of
the original St. Patrick's Church, dedi
cated, October 21, 1827, by Bishop
Conwell. The new cathedral was dedi
cated with the usual solemnities, May
16, 1907, and, although, for the re
sources of the diocese, it cost the con
siderable sum of $185,000, a hundred
thousand of this amount had, in three
years, been raised by the united ef
forts of the Bishop, the diocese and
the cathedral parish. It need only be
added that in the intervening years,
to the time of Bishop Shanahan's
death, more than three-fourths of the
remaining indebtedness disap
peared.
"The cathedral completed, there
were among us not a few who now
hoped for a little breathing space,
both to recuperate from strenuous toll
and to contemplate with a certain de
gree of satisfaction what had been
achieved in the previous eight years.
But Bishop Shanahan had no inten
tion, just yet, of resting on his oars.
For, even before the cathedral was
finished, he was already at work to
provide a home for boys, and the first
large gift for this object, according to
his ledger, was received on the feast
of Our Lady's Assumption, 1906.
Those who knew him will best under
stand his profound satisfaction and
gratitude to the Mother of God, under
whose, tender patronage, after that of
her Divine Son, he loved to work, at
the favorable omen. From that time
to the day of his death, ten years
later, Paradise Protectory for Boys
was the Bishop's constant preoccupa
tion. .Erected on a large farm which
the diocese had long owned, in one of
the fairest portions of the State, the
structure of the Protectory, and its
equipment, cost a little over a hun
dred thousand dollars, exactly nine
tenths of which had been raised by its
founder when God called him to his
reward.
"In the seventeen years of his ad
ministration Bishop Shanahan cre
ated twenty new parishes and gave to
seven missions resident pastors, thus
Increasing the number of parishes in
the diocese by more than a third. He
was a firm believer In the policy of
establishing churches In all localities
where a sufficient, number of people
was present to justify their erection.
It was, of course, sometimes difficult
to persuade, for example, the pastor
of a comparatively small parish, that
It would be for the good of religion
to deplete still further his resources.
But the Bishop was an adept at con
vincing men against their will, and,
after his experiments in a few in
stances had succeeded, thereafter in
this regard he experienced no difficul
ties."

the church and State, and universal
education.
"While these were primarily pre
sented to influence the religious con
ditions of that day," Doctor Jacobs
said, "they have been taken over bod
ily into the civic realm and have trans
formed political conditions of this
age."
Tells of Luther's Life
The Rev. Dr. A. R. Steck, of Car
lisle, spoke on "Martin Luther," pre
senting many little-known incidents of
his life. Both speakers were fre

pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, was
chairman of the Lutheran Quadricen
tennial committee of Harrisburg that
arranged for the services. Other
members of the committee were W. B.

Price of Print Paper to
Be Settled at Conferences
Washington, D. C., Feb. 19.—Confer
ences are to be held this week between
members of the Federal Trade Commis
sion, publishers of some of the leading
newspapers of America and the manu
facturers of newsprint paper as a pre
liminary step to the establishment by
the Trade Commission of a price for
paper between March 1 and September
1. Arrangements are to be made then
for public hearings, so that the price
adjustments can be made in the open
and in fairness to both publishers and
manufacturers.
The Trade Commission Is withholding
the names of the paper manufacturers
who have proposed that the commission
arbitrate their differences with the pub
lishers and adjust an equitable price.
The names will not be announced until
all manufacturers have an opp< rtunlty
of Joining in these arrangements. They
are expected to be heard from within
the next few days.
Members of the commission explained,
however, that the groups which have
agreed to the price adjustment Is suf

Only the Dead Get by
Tollgate Keepers on
Harrisburg Bridges
Only the dead are "Airmltted to pass
the toll gates on the across the
Susquehanna rive here, with charge,
several undertakers to-day pointed out
The mourners, however, must pay the
usual two-cent charge.
Harrisburg has the distinction of be
ing possibly the only town in the coun
try where funeral processions are tabu
lated down to the last mourner and
later rung up on the cash register. Un
dertakers to-day said that so far as is
known every other bridge and toll road
is free to funeral corteges.
Here It appears that each under
taker Is supposed to count the number
or persons in the cabs. Where the un
dertaker does not have Huch an ar
rangement the tollgate keeper takes
the count. The only explanation given
for the charge is that It has always
been the custom.

MANY AMERICAN
SHIPS IN DANGER
Five Leave New York on Voy
ages Which Will Take Them
Through Danger Zone
By Associated Press
New York, Feb. 19. —Ifivc American
ships from this port are now on the
high seas exposed to the dangers of
German submarine warfare and sev
eral others arc ready for immediate
departure. Three of these vessels, the
Orleans and the Rochester for Bor
deaux and the Owego for Genoa, are
now- approaching the blockade line in
the Bay of Biscay and the Mediter
ranean.
The City of Pueblo, a freighter of
2,624 tons, owned by the Parrey
Steamship Company, got away yester
day for Havre. Her captain and 13
other officers are Americans. The
crew are to receive a war bonus of
50 per cent, of their pay at the e:id
of the voyage.
Among the American ships ready to
sail to-day are the Algonquin, a
freighter, and the Mongolia, which is
equipped to carry passengers.
In addition to the City of Pueblo,
twelve steamships sailed from New
York yesterday, presumably by routes
that will carry them through the zone
of blockade. Three vessels, one of
them an American, arrived after pas
sage through the restricted area.
Murh Food Condemned
The Health Department reports
show that 7,000,000 pounds of food
brought to this port t>y ships during
the last twenty weeks have been con
demned and destroyed as unfit for
consumption. The value is estimated
at $1,000,000.
Lucius P. Brown, head of the food
and drugs division of the Health De
partment, says that part of the con
demnation was due to war conditions,
including delays in arrival and the
loading of perishable cargoes in ships
not designed for such purposes.
Dealers here, said Mr. Brown, are
learning to sort over partly spoiled
cargoes, saving some portions which
formerly were destroyed under con
demnation.
The food condemned, however, is
only a very small part of the total
received here. Health Commission
Emerson estimates the seizures about
one-fiftli of one per cent, of the ar
rivals.
FREIGHTER SINKS
U-BOAT IN FIGHT
Shell From Big Gun on French
Ship Sends Submarine
to Bo I torn
By Associated Press •
New York, Feb. 19. ln a forty
minute battle between a German Ü
boat and the French Line steamship
Guyane off the coast of France on Jan
uary 22 the submarine was sunk, ac
cording to officers of the freighter
which arrived here to-day from Bor
deaux.
The Guyane was one day out from
port. At 3.30 p. m. Captain Rousselot
said, the U-boat was sighted some dis
tance to port and apparently endeav
oring to cross the freighter's bow in
order to stop her. The submarine
fired a shot which fell short and the
Guyane then turned sharply to star
board so that her big 65-millimetre
gun mounted at the stern could be
trained on the approaching vessel.
The submarine fired a second shot
which fell considerably short, and a
third shot which struck the water
close by the freighter.
Meanwhile the Guyane's gunner had
sent one shell which failed to bit but
struck very near its mark. A second
shot from the Guyane, Captain Rous
selot said, hit the U-boat squarely and
the underwater boat w r us seen to col
lapse. * i
During the next thirty minutes the
German craft appeared to be strug
gling for existence. No one appeared
on the deck and no further attempt
to shell the freighter was made, and
the Guyane refrained from firing any
more shots. At the end of the half
hour the submarine disappeared. The
freighter's ottieers said they had no
doubt but that the U-boat was lost.
The Guyane, a steel vessel of 2,068
tons net carried 37 men. There were
no Americans aboard. She brought a
general cargo of about 1,000 tons.
Army Staff Asks Law
on Universal Training
Washington, D. C., Feb. 19. —A de
tailed plan for the establishment of a
national policy of universal military
training and service was laid before
Secretary liaker to-day by the army
general staff.
It differs radically from that pro
vided in the Chamberlain bill, favor
ably reported Saturday by the senate
military committee, in that a full year
of training would be required as the
absolute minimum. The senate bill
is based on six months' training.
The staff bill was submitted to each
of the thirty-six members'of that body
and represents the consensus of their
opinion. It is understood to have
been worked out in much greater de
tail than the senate bill, which leaves
wide departmental power to prescribe
regulations.
Secretary Baker has indicated that
the recommendations of the staff will
be made jublic later, even in the event
that the plan does not receive the
administration's approval, so that it
can serve as a basis for discussion be
foro the country after the adjourn
ment of congress. Advocates of uni
versal service have urged that a refer
endum be taken when- public, senti
ment has been crystalled on the ques
tion.
With the staff and senate bills now
available, many officials believe the
question will be given serious consid
eration at the White House, particu
larly in view of the strained interna
tional relation. It is pointed out by
advocates of such legislation that if
the president should recommend the
passage of a universal service bill, the
present congress could hardly avoid a
vote on the subject.
Emperor's Own Horses
Hauling Coal For Poor
Vienna, Feb. 19.—Emperor Charles
has placed at the disposal of the people
for the distribution of fuel his entire
stable equipment in order that the coal
which has accumulated at tlie depots
may be distributed to the needy. He
also has issued orders to the army to
assist with rolling stock and men. His
order brought to light the fact that he
is displeased with the incompetence of
certain officials, and now keeps in con
tact with the food and fuel problems,
doing this by telephone from the pal
ace or chief headquarters and making
a personal inspection when necessury.
The cold continues, although no
more snow has fallen, and the sun is
warm enough at noon to encourage
the poor to leave their shelter and
warm, themselves in its rays.
